Ski Castle | Your Private Sunday River Ski Retreat

Fresh powder. First tracks. Hot tub under the stars. Sauna after a day on the mountain.

Welcome to the Ski Castle, a newly built mountain retreat on 3 private wooded acres in Newry, Maine—just minutes from Sunday River. Designed for ski groups, multiple families, and winter adventurers, the Ski Castle comfortably sleeps up to 14 guests and offers the perfect combination of convenience, privacy, and luxury for your Maine ski vacation.

Spend your days carving turns at Sunday River, exploring snowy mountain trails, snowshoeing through western Maine, or discovering everything the Bethel area has to offer. Then come home to your own private lodge where the best part of the day may just be the après-ski experience.

Soak in the hot tub. Warm up in the custom sauna. Gather around the fire pit. Share stories by the fireplace. Grill dinner on the deck while snow falls through the trees.

This is the ski getaway you've been looking for.
